OBJECTIVE/AREA OF INTEREST

Would normally omit unless specific interest and goals are relevant to communicate.

EDUCATION

Institutions attended (usually only after high school) with years and degrees (incl to be expected ones)

Relevant Course work (titles of some of more advanced math courses – can also be extra section) – may include and indicate courses in progress/planned.

Overall GPA (w/ grade scale) Major/math GPA: (if not much lower) Class rank (if available)

Include math oriented academic summer schools.

TESTS

(Optional if good) GRE and/or TOEFL test results – often also in header in a numerical summary.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE/PROJECTS/INDEPENDENT STUDY

Should be academically relevant and usually with supervision of a faculty or within academic program.

Should include year, institution, research title/reading topic, supervising faculty – but be otherwise compact and short.

Also attendance at major conferences even if not presenting.

PUBLICATIONS/PAPERS/PRESENTATIONS

If any significant and math related – otherwise omit.

AWARDS/DISTINCTIONS

MEMBERSHIPS

Mathematical Societies, academic oriented students orgaizations

OTHER

Usually extra-curricular activities should be omitted or kept to a minimum.

REFERENCES

Names and contacts of people writing letters or willing to give information about you. These should normally be all professors in math or math-related subjects.

Things to keep in mind

• Mathematical achievements and measures of mathematical abilities (courses, grades, research, tests) should come before anything else and should emphasized. Non-math/non-academic things should be kept to a minimum and pushed to the end.

• Give enough information that mathematical content and relevance of an item can be quickly seen, but don't get too “wordy” – normally not more than three shorter lines per item.

• Think what to include and what not. Some things may not be to your advantage (if major GPA much lower than overall GPA) and some information may not be very relevant and thus more distracting than informative.

• Organized and easy to read lay-out. Some professional look is good – but should not get too “fancy” that it would distract from content (LaTeX templates below usually quite good).

Templates

• Using LaTeX

http://www.latextemplates.com/cat/curricula-vitae

LaTeX editors on Windows=MiKTeX, MAC=TeXShop Linux=Kile (or command line)

• Using Microsoft Word – usually included in MS Word editor – more available at
